Greetings from Ronda, Andalucía.
I’m standing almost 400 feet above the canyon floor on the new bridge that connects the old and new part of this ancient city. Of course new is a relative term. Work started on the bridge in 1751. The first attempt fell down. Then the next effort stalled as funds dried up. The bridge was finally completed in 1793.
As a member of our little group you will be familiar with Nicaragua’s stunning south Pacific coast and the Rancho Santana community in particular. Today, I’d like to tell you about three opportunities within this community that have just crossed my desk. I wanted to make sure that you hear about these deals first. I’ve also ensured you get a window to make a quick cash offer before these deals hit the streets—you have ten days to make your move.
I recently told you about an opportunity to buy 12 cottages in rural Ireland for $400,000 ($33,000 each). These vacation homes were due to go under the hammer at a firesale auction in Dublin on July 4. However, dramatic protests stopped the Allsop Space property sale from going ahead. A handful of demonstrators, some of whom have lost their homes in the economic downturn—shouted “Ireland is not for sale”. Police were called to the protest and the auction was called off.
I’ve arranged a special RETA members-only Chill Weekend to a dreamy island destination with stunning beaches just for you. It’s a place where you will enjoy delicious French and Italian food under palm trees in the tropical sun. You will also see undervalued real estate in a market with good rental potential. You can spend time with other members of our little group—swap stories and pick each other’s brains about property deals over cocktails.
As a member of our little group, I’d like to invite you on a RETA-only scouting trip to an early-in Caribbean resort community. By joining our exclusive trip, you can view first-hand just how far your dollar goes in La Romana. You will also find out everything you need to know about snapping up a piece of the dream Caribbean lifestyle for just $129,000.
There’s a special island on my beat where you will find incredible value in Caribbean real estate. It’s a postcard-perfect destination with white-sand beaches, calm waters and tropical sun. The natural beauty of this island has made it a hotbed for the filming of Hollywood blockbusters. As a member of Real Estate Trend Alert, you could own a piece of this Caribbean lifestyle for $129,000.
I’ve just got word on a special situation opportunity in the elegant beach town of Las Terrenas for one member of our little group.
This beach town is boutique. It’s free from high-rises and crowds. Development has been tightly restricted. Outside town there are a couple of larger all-inclusive hotels. But, that’s it. Everything else is refined. And it will stay that way.
In these alerts, I’ve told you about a strong early-in opportunity at the A-nah development in the buzzing Caribbean beach town of Playa Del Carmen. Now you can see it for yourself. I’ve arranged a special members-only scouting trip to Mexico’s Riviera Maya this September 6-8.
As a member of our little insider club you will know that I am constantly working on your behalf, negotiating early-in real estate deals with special pricing and terms in stunning destinations. To help new members (and to remind long-term members) of the significant advantages you enjoy as part of your RETA membership, I’ve put together a table outlining the exclusive discounts and special financing you’re entitled to in what I consider the strongest opportunities in places on the up.
I’m writing to tell you about a special opportunity in Costa Rica. My contact on the ground, Steve Linder, has arranged a private members-only trip to the Southern Zone for our little insider group. I’ve visited several times and I’m always struck by the area’s natural beauty. Stretching from the beach town of Dominical to the chic village of Ojochal, the Southern Zone is a rugged wonderland of pristine mountain tops blanketed in lush green rainforest that plummet dramatically toward the deep blue ocean.
